USA-Mexico Ticket Policies Announced

Tickets to see the United States host Mexico in a World Cup qualifier at Crew Stadium will go on
sale to the general public via random draw July 19.

Fans wishing to purchase tickets will have from July 19-22 to apply for tickets and will do so
through the Crew’s ticket system. Individual buyers can request as many as four tickets for the
match, which will take place Sept. 10.

“U.S. Soccer is taking this unique approach due to the expected high ticket demand,” U.S. Soccer
President Sunil Gulati said in a statement. “We’ve seen in the past few cycles that the USA-Mexico
match in the Final Round of World Cup Qualifying is by far the most desired ticket, and we wanted
to provide as many fans as possible a fair opportunity to secure tickets at face value.”

In addition, more seats might be added to Crew Stadium for the match. Fans who are not selected
for tickets will remain in the system should additional seating be announced. There is no charge
for entering to win tickets.

In a frequently asked questions section of the release, U.S. Soccer said it hopes the random
selection method will help the average fan find tickets to the match.

“By using a random selection draw, all fans have a fair and equal opportunity to purchase
tickets at face value,” it says. “Those applying for tickets can place their request at a time and
date within the request period that is convenient to them, eliminating the race to be first in line
to purchase tickets. The procedure also allows Ticketmaster time to carefully review all ticket
orders to ensure possible purchasers are complying with the ticket policy established for this
match. By enforcing the ticket policy, fans who intend to use their tickets personally will have a
greater chance to purchase them.”
